Do you love to be different or prefer to stay on top of the latest trend? Do you favor timeless elegance or love to be hip and edgy? Whatever your style, we've got a ring shape that suits it.

Loading SlideshowDiamond Shape: Round

A round-cut diamond is one of the most popular cuts for engagement rings, and for good reason. It sparkles like none other, thanks to the stone's 58 facets. Brides who favor this classic shape are traditionalists at heart, and recognize a good thing when they see it. See more round-cut engagement rings.

Diamond Shape: Princess

Another popular option, the princess-cut diamond is a favorite among brides who want a traditional-shaped engagement ring, but with a little something extra. The stone's four pointed corners make it an excellent choice for a bride with a modern sensibility. See more princess-cut engagement rings.

Diamond Shape: Emerald

Fewer facets make an emerald-cut diamond susceptible to revealing any flaws the stone may have, which means confidence is a must! Brides who favor this retro-inspired design are open to taking risks and delight in the unexpected. See more emerald-cut engagement rings.

Diamond Shape: Cushion

A cushion-cut diamond gets its name from the rounded corners and curved sides that make it appear softer than a princess-cut diamond but not as circular as a round-cut stone. Everything from the name of the cut to the shape of the diamond is effortlessly romantic, as is the bride who wears one. See more cushion-cut engagement rings.

Diamond Shape: Asscher

This vintage-inspired style has been a favorite among the fashion-conscious crowd ever since Carrie Bradshaw modeled an asscher-cut engagement ring during her brief betrothal to Aidan Shaw on Sex and the City. Brides who both follow and define the latest trends can wear this stone with confidence. See more asscher-cut engagement rings.

Diamond Shape: Radiant

True to its name, a radiant-cut diamond catches the light in a big way. The shape mimics an emerald-cut stone but the facets allow for extra sparkle. Brides who don't want to stray too far from the classic shapes appreciate this stone's timeless nature. See more radiant-cut engagement rings.

Diamond Shape: Heart

Consider a heart-shaped diamond the wild card in the bunch. Bashful brides who shy away from the spotlight need not consider this finely-crafted shape, as they'll be sure to attract attention wherever they go. See more heart-cut engagement rings.

Diamond Shape: Oval

Essentially an elongated circle, an oval-shaped diamond can have just as many facets as a round-cut stone, which means it has the capacity to sparkle just as much. This elegant shape is a favorite among sophisticated brides who are also striving for something unique. See more oval-cut engagement rings.

Diamond Shape: Marquise

Because of their shape, marquise-cut diamonds often appear larger than life. The shape of the stone is made to maximize carat weight, which can appeal to brides with a flair for drama. See more marquise-cut engagement rings.

Diamond Shape: Pear

Also known as a teardrop, the pear-shaped diamond is a hybrid of styles. Taking its cues from both the oval and marquise, this unique shape is a perfect choice for those who play by their own set of rules and think that two is better than one. See more pear-cut engagement rings.
